Hyper Metal Sonic

Intro Hyper Metal Sonic (ハイパーメタルソニック Haipā Metaru Sonikku?), or just Metal (メタル Metaru?), is the secondary antagonist of Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie and serves as the primary villain for the second part of the film. He is a robot created by Dr. Robotnik in the image of the doctor's greatest adversary, Sonic the Hedgehog, for the purpose of defeating Sonic and destroying the Land of the Sky. Besides sharing Sonic's appearance and abilities, Metal is infused with Sonic's life data (personality and memories) to be as formidable in battle as the real Sonic, making the robot a near-perfect duplicate of the blue blur. This however created a mind link between Metal and Sonic, allowing them to hear each other's thoughts. This also gave Metal traits of the real Sonic's personality and habits, which eventually led to him sacrificing himself to save the lives of the President and Old Man Owl.
